Peugeot e-308 vs Renault 5 E-Tech

Side-by-Side Specs

Charging Speed

The Renault 5 E-Tech has the higher published DC charging figure at 101 kW, which is roughly 1% higher than the Peugeot e-308 at 100 kW. In practice, that figure only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.

For the published fast-charge window, the Peugeot e-308 is listed at about 30 minutes, which is 1 minutes quicker than the Renault 5 E-Tech at 31 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.

Range and Efficiency

The Renault 5 E-Tech has a WLTP rated range of approximately 412 km, which is roughly 2 km more than the Peugeot e-308 at approximately 410 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.

Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Renault 5 E-Tech consumes 149 Wh/km, compared to 161 Wh/km for the Peugeot e-308. That means the Renault 5 E-Tech uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.

A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Renault 5 E-Tech has approximately 52 kWh of useable battery , while the Peugeot e-308 has approximately 55.4 kWh.

Which One Should You Choose?

The Renault 5 E-Tech has the higher published DC figure at up to 101 kW, but the Peugeot e-308 has the shorter published charge time at approximately 30 minutes versus approximately 31 minutes. On road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.

Both cars support 11 kW AC charging, so home and workplace charging speeds will be similar.

If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Renault 5 E-Tech is the more efficient choice at 149 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.

For maximum range between charges, the Renault 5 E-Tech has a WLTP rated range of approximately 412 km, which is roughly 2 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
